I’ve been lurking here for years and years, and finally decided to post a diary today. Despite my user name, I am a Wisconsin resident. I lived in Colorado for close to 18 years prior to moving to southern Wisconsin a bit over a year ago.
I’ve never been super active in politics, but I did volunteer and contribute to President Obama’s campaign in 2008. I was proud to cast my first presidential vote for President Clinton in 1992 while a college student in Michigan. I am appalled by the garbage spewing from the Republican candidate’s mouth as well as his mealy mouth supporters here in this state.
My heart soared last night as I watched President Clinton give his speech. It prompted me to get off my butt and officially join the Democratic Party of Wisconsin today with a donation. I also proudly donated to both Hillary and Russ Feingold’s campaigns. We need them both to win this November to ensure that this country continues to go down the right path, and not into who knows what if that other person is elected.
Anyway, enough of this for now. This community is amazing (disagreements included), and I look forward to posting more in the future!!
